    Default What rear springs will fit on a VP V8 Wagon?

    I need to know what rear springs are compatible with a VP V8 wagon with IRS, as the king springs that are on it are mostly fully compressed these are only a month old and seem to be sagging and due to the rear end being so low the tyres scrub on the guards. Any info on the springs would be much appreciated.

    Getting a camber kit should stop it rubbing if it's only the top inside of the tyre rubbing

    According to the part numbers, V6 and V8 rear springs are the same. In fact any live axle spring will fit.

    Im confused about your initial post about a wagon with IRS, wagons didn't have IRS until the VT (unless someone went the trouble of putting it in)

    You probably have Ultra Lows in there, and you won't have IRS if it's a VP wagon.

    My bad, it's that low i cant even see what axle it has, lol. Your right Shearer and Not_An_Abba_Fan i managed to catch a glimpse of a live rear axle under the VP wagon this morning. Are the wagon and sedan rear springs the same?.

    No, wagon and ute are the same though. But they will fit each other, just the sedan spring will make the wagon sit lower.
